The Sentence by Louise Erdrich
This was a DNF at 30 percent. I really tried to get into this one and just gave up in the end. I heard nothing but great things about it, but I think it just jumped around too much for me to really get invested. The first couple of pages read as bizarre and I think I just got annoyed because I thought this was going to be a ghost story in a bookshop. And I don’t know. I just kept reading and reading and […]
Nightshade by Michael Connelly
Well shit, we got a new player on the field. I think he’s going to work out just fine. I thought this was a nice new character long time Connelly fans can sink their teeth into. There’s a hint of Bosch (the main character Stillwell is kicked out of homicide and banished to an island) but is happy with his lot in life living on the island and having a relationship with a local who just gets him and he gets her. That’s so unlike […]
Swimming Lessons by Mary Alice Monroe
Well sometimes you can’t go home again. Trying to re-read the second book in The Beach House series was a mess. This took me so many days to get through. I know it came out almost what, 20 years ago, and I can say it does not hold up at all. The book was just a grind to get through. I also now hate the name Little Lovie. Just call the child a different name people. There is no conflict in this book at all. […]
Friends to Lovers by Sally Blakely
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Man, I hit a bad streak this week. I don’t even know what to say is that I love friends to lovers romance books, but this was we are not together for the dumbest things known to man for years and I lost patience with everyone involved at 50 percent. Following the love interests to various weddings over a 5 year period was a cute idea, but […]
All This Can Be True by Jen Michalski
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Well, this was a book. I don’t even know what to say except there was a reason why this one took me a while to get through and read. It was just dense. I got tired of the long winded chapters via Quinn and Lacie. I felt like there was just way too much going on and not enough at the same time. I think in the end […]
The Crash by Frieda McFadden
Well bless McFadden. She has a formula that is really working for her. That said, this one dragged because honestly I feel bad for saying this, she needed to cut down some of the sections developing the two characters of Teagan and Polly. I just kept waiting for a bad thing to happen and at one point I was like, is anyone going to die? We just playing games and whatnot? It just got boring and I was over Polly by the 3/4 mark honestly. […]
